1807 1855 1882 Best Longfellow Post Card Song Wadsworth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image features a portrait of the renowned American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, taken in the year 1882. Longfellow, born on February 27, 1807, is best known for his epic poem, "The Song of Hiawatha," published in 1855. The poem tells the story of the legendary Native American hero, Hiawatha, and is considered Longfellow's magnum opus. Longfellow's distinguished literary career spanned over five decades, and he is regarded as one of the most influential poets in American history. His works often reflected his deep appreciation for nature, history, and mythology. This portrait captures Longfellow in his later years, with a matured face, a prominent white beard, and a thoughtful expression. The image offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to the art of poetry and left an indelible mark on American literature. The postcard's anonymous origin adds to its intrigue, as it invites us to ponder the hands that held it before us and the stories it may have carried across time and distance. The photograph, taken in 1882, serves as a poignant reminder of Longfellow's enduring legacy and the power of the written word to transcend generations. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of Longfellow's poetry and the enduring appeal of the postcard as a medium for sharing the stories and images that shape our collective memory.
